Administrative Plan 4/1/16 Page 3-12 SAHA Policy Family members who provide citizenship or national status verification will not be required to provide additional documentation unless SAHA receives information indicating that an individual’s declaration may not be accurate. Eligible Noncitizens In addition to providing a signed declaration, those declaring eligible noncitizen status must sign a verification consent form and cooperate with SAHA efforts to verify their immigration status as described in Chapter 7. The documentation required for establishing eligible noncitizen status varies depending upon factors such as the date the person entered the U.S., the conditions under which eligible immigration status has been granted, the person’s age, and the date on which the family began receiving HUD-funded assistance. Lawful residents of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau, together known as the Freely Associated States, or FAS, are eligible for housing assistance under section 141 of the Compacts of Free Association between the U.S. Government and the Governments of the FAS [Public Law 106-504]. SAHA Policy The original copy of one of the following documents is acceptable evidence of eligible immigration status, subject to verification: (1) Form 1-151, Alien Registration Receipt Card (issued to lawful permanent residents prior to 1979).
